High pressure will gradually slide east. This will increase onshore flow, resulting in increasing clouds today and through the end of the week. Rain chances will be spotty through Friday. Scattered storms return this weekend.

Spotty shower chances will return late Wednesday and Thursday as shortwave moves from the Plains and towards the Great Lakes. This energy may help to break down the ridge slightly, which may lead to a few spotty showers or isolated storms.

WEEKEND RAIN CHANCES:

Another shortwave will cause a cold front to crawl closer to the area Sunday into Monday. This will support scattered showers and storms Sunday and into the start of the next week.
